Notes

A note about mixing ingredients. It truly works better using your hands. I have tried with a fork and a mixer but go back to using my hands to get that perfect crumble. 
You can bake and serve your apple crisp in these adorable red mini ramekins one ceramic pie dish.  
Serve warm with or without ice cream. 
If by chance you have leftovers, serve it the following morning over oatmeal or yogurt.
